Customer Reviews
My experience at this Taco Bell was underwhelming. The food, while well-prepared, was subpar with a noticeable burnt taste that detracted from the flavor. The dining room was mostly clean and well-maintained, which was a plus. However, the bathrooms were absolutely disgusting—foul odors, flies buzzing around, and unsanitary sinks and urinals made it unpleasant. The exterior wasn’t any better, with trash scattered around. It pains me to leave this negative review, but honesty compels me to share the truth about this location’s shortcomings. While visiting this location, they had an exterminator there.(which I understand is necessary for a business) and they were discussing how this has been an ongoing issue at this restaurant. This makes sense considering how poorly maintained it is.
I eat a lot of fast food. And I’ve written a lot of 1-star reviews for fast food chains. The industry has problems, and I think we’ve all tempered our expectations some. This is an excellent Taco Bell location. I’ve eaten here countless times and I routinely have a good experience. Employees seem to come and go but they are uniformly polite and efficient. Many are far friendlier and more engaging (and engaged in their job) than what I see at the competition. Management is doing something right here. The food is as good as it gets for the Bell; If you like that sort of thing (and I do) its be exactly what you hoped for. Hot and fresh and made well.
Service has gone downhill at this Taco Bell. I ordered ahead of time for in-store pickup and arrived 5 minutes after that time, expecting my food to be ready. But they had not even started it. They gave me my drink cups and said it would be a while, and they weren't kidding. It took 16 additional minutes to get my food! When I asked why it didn't seem to matter that I put a pickup time on my food, they told me something like "Our manager times the drive-thru orders and rates our performance with that, so that is the most important thing for us.". Now I understand the importance of getting cars through the line, but it can't be totally at the expense of dine in customers. It was ridiculous. And to make matters worse they were out of all flavors of Mt. Dew. They need to do better he
They do not care about online orders. They will not prepare your food ahead of time which defeats the purpose of online orders. Also, the employees I engaged with had a rotten attitude. Time for new management.
Taco Bell specifically in Gilbertsville on Philadelphia Avenue is the worst Taco Bell I have ever visited. I was going to ignore the poor customer service on several different dates until I went to Quakertown and was treated like a human being. I was treated like my patronage was appreciated. I’ve visiteda multitude of chain locations and have never been ignored, never had a 20 minute wait in drive-through , Never had anyone give me an attitude for saying I was there for a pick up. I’m not sure if the employees are overworked, but they are definitely understaffed And the managers could benefit from training videos. Each time I visit, there is a grown adult manager, which tells me that they didn’t get this far in life by being mean. Who would hire a liability?? I would expect this behavior
